The best and most accessible guide to Loreto
Destination guides are typically like reference books -- this is more like a novel in terms of readability and interest. As a regular visitor to Loreto, I was quite impressed that the authors not only delivered the usual roadmap to a vacation, but also provided valuable insights that most visitors and even some residents would miss. The body of this guidebook is rich with content. While ...

The cycling guidebook for SD
The origianl guide was written in 1986 and this most recent edition is updated wih revised and added trips for all levels of cyclist. The included tours are reworked and include great little maps that covers both mileage and elevation. This is key so that one knows what one is getting into before one attempts a tour, nothing worse than to have a destination with a grade beyond one's abilities or ...

THIS IS A RIPOFF
This book has been ripped off from the true author! The editor put it under her name, but it's obvious I wrote it...see earlier editions available on amazon.com Don't buy this damn think...you would be supporting theft of intellectual material. Better to buy my other book, Mexican Slang 101 from this address http://slang101.freemaz.com Thanks for you help...this is just so greedy and unfair.

Despite a few problems, a generally Excellent Guide
Those expecting a Sibley's style field guide with pictures, maps, and bird descriptions all conveniently located on the same page will be disappointed with this guide. Having to go back and forth between picture plates, located in the middle of the volume, and text descriptions at the front or rear of the volume was Herculean pain in the you know what. I got so frustrated with lugging this heavy ...

Spanish language, culture and slang
Spanish Lingo For The Savvy Gringo is a superbly organized and presented "do-it-yourself" guide to the Spanish language, culture and slang - not just common expressions, but also curse words, severe insults, and the Spanish equivalents of the most vicious and dirty gutter talk, as well as lighter common verbal outbursts and expressions. It is not in dictionary form, instead arranged so that slang ...

Excellent insight to San Diego's geology
An excellent book! I find myself continuously recommending it. Fascinating from a geology and local interest point of view. I'll never look at La Jolla, Mission Bay and Point Loma the same way again.

Jackpot Trails
I recommend highly this book as I find it to be excellently written. It has a great tour guide for each Indian casino and a great one page summary for each casino. It makes you want to take the complete tour. It also has a good introduction and history on the Indians which my wife really enjoys.

Rebirth of the Desert Prophet

The first section of the book is a short history of Marshal and how his family built their dream on a waterless mountain in the ...

He's done it again!
Once again, Daniel Reveles has managed to make me care about the wonderful, sweet, noble and sometimes crazy people that live in his world...Care, and laugh, and even cry a bit. I'm only sorry I finished the new book so fast, as I am already "hungry" for more...

Will be my dog's favorite book!
I just picked up this book at Barnes & Noble the other day, and I'll already taken my dog to two new--to us--dog parks pretty close by that I never knew about before! I like that the author tells you a little about each park--is it shady or sunny, busy or empty, fenced off or open...That is a big thing for me, since I don't want to drive somewhere expecting one thing and find another. We look ...

Makes me want to go back!
I used to live down in Baja and this book sure makes me want to go back. The author has put a lot of information--history and the like--in his book, but what really comes across is the fun he's had traveling there, especially the people he's met. He writes about all the people I remember, like Mama Espinoza and the Reyes' family, but also about places I haven't been, like down in the East Cape. ...
